NEWARK, N.J. — U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman said Friday that he has been given assurances from a representative of the Libyan government that Moammar Khadafy won’t stay in Englewood, N.J., when he visits the United States next month to address the U.N. General Assembly, a visit that has sparked angry protests.
The Libyan government has been renovating an estate there. But Khadafy is unwelcome in New Jersey, which lost 38 residents in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The attack, which killed 270 people, is widely thought to be the work of Libyan intelligence.
